Serving up bright and beautiful eats at King and Portland, Shook is making its mark on the neighbourhood. The hummus is fresh, the labneh is creamy and the salads are the exact opposite of the sad-desk-variety. Plus, the bread is warm and puffy like a balloon. Swoon. Open early with lattes and grab-and-go goods on deck, this spot’s here for you all day long. Go. Seriously. You’ll be shook.

The Parlour

Also tucked along the King West strip, The Parlour is new in from Vancouver. Serving up out-of-this-world pizza alongside other important Italian bites (read: prosciutto, burrata, crusty bread, etc.), this is a dinner reso to make on a night when you’re feeling extra hungry. Because you’re going to want to taste everything.
Address: 642 King Street West

Ascari

Honestly, King West is where it’s at this summer. Ascari is an east-end import, and the new spot at King and Portland is the restaurant’s second in the city. This spot’s slingin’ the most indulgent pasta, riddled with bright, seasonal veg and melt-in-your-mouth meats. Charcuterie to start and sweet desserts are perfectly executed too. Don’t miss out.
Address: 620 King Street West
Phone: 416-366-3673
Mugi

If you’re looking for a spot where you can grab a delicious bite on the go, Mugi’s got you. Serving up mouthwatering, plant-based Thai dishes, you can eat in or take your meal home (or to the park!) This spot’s partnered with Greenhouse, so you can get a refreshing and healthy beverage to wash down your veg-focused meal.
